Jeanna Fine (September 29, 1964 – October 2025) was an American pornographic film actress.

Early life

[edit]

Fine was born on September 29, 1964 in New York State.[1][2]

Career

[edit]

Fine joined the adult film industry in her early 20s. She starred in the films Skin Hunger (1995), My Surrender (1996), and Cafe Flesh 2 (1997).[1] She was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in 1997.[3] She is also in the X-Rated Critic's Association's Hall of Fame.[4]

Fine had a small role in the 1999 film The Boondock Saints[5] as a dancer.[1][6]

An interview with Fine was featured on the 2014 album Try Me by American post-hardcore band Self Defense Family.[7] The 40-minute interview split between two tracks focuses on her childhood and early adulthood before she entered the pornography industry.[7]

Personal life and death

[edit]

Fine became involved in a long-term relationship with fellow pornographic film actress Savannah.[8][9] In a 1999 interview following the airing of the E! True Hollywood Story about Savannah's life and death, Fine commented, "We had an ongoing, on-again, off-again, volatile, loving relationship. At that time I was having a lot of problems myself. Between [Sikki] Nixx and Savannah pushing and pulling, I pretty much at one point ran away from them both. I couldn't take it any longer. But I feel I left her behind when she needed me most. It's very sad."[10]

Fine died in October 2025 from heart failure, less than a week after her 61st birthday.[2] Her death was announced by her friend and former roommate Thomas Taliaferro, who performed in pornographic films under the name Tom Byron.[1]
